ESBON LIFE.

What truly beautiful world we
live in! Nature gives us grandeur
of mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when IN
perfect health; but how often do the
majority Of people feel like giving
il up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there
is no occasion for this feeling, as
every sufferer can easily obtain sat
isfactory proof, that Green's August
Flower, will make them free from

and liver complaint are the direct
causes of seveuty-iye per cent. of
such malaaies rs bjlliousness, indi-
gestiou, sick headache, costiyeness,

head, palpitatiou of the heart, and

No Sympathy for Soldiers.
his case.

No Sympathy for Soldiers.
1t was generally expected that Mr.
Cleveland would veto the depend.
ents' pension bill. He has never
shown sympathy with the soldier as
an individual; it was not supposed
that he would pity the soldier col
lectively. IL treating on the sub
ject the Inter Oceon says: The most
Objectionable part of Mr.. Cleve-
lands public career is his attitude
toward the soldier as pensioner
He rolls vetoes of public and pri-
vate pension bills as sweet morsels
under his tongue 1t is not simply
because he vetoes pension bills, but
because Of the manner in which he
vetoes them, that he is disliked b.
those who cherish the idea that the
Union army was a patriot army
1t did not please Providence to en-
dow Mr.. Cleveland with humor, a
gift which was literally bestowed
on Lincoln, nor with wit, an attri-
butte which Tilden possessed. His
messages are generally liberal, and
generally logical, though often log
zeal from false premises. 1t is only
when a message has for its burden
che rejection of a pension that the
President becomes maIiclously play
full. lie seldom fails to question
the courage of the subject of "a
private pension bill. He IL happy
# he can insinuate that rheumatism
is oftener the result of drafty
window than of exposure to the
damps of a soldiers blanket, spread
as mattress on the moist earth of a
swampy valley. There is a clumsy
and ilI-natured glee in all his pen
sion vetoes that contrasts strangely
with the studloas solemnity of all
his other communications TO Con
gress. AS in his vetoes of private
pension bills, so in his veto of this
comprehensive pension bill. It's OBJ
ject was to give aid TO eX.soldiers
dependent on labor for their sup
port but who 10y reason of physical
or mental incapacity are inadequate
to 'the performance Of labor In such
a degree as will support them. 1t
is not a bill to make paupers of able
bodied men, but a bill to prevent
men who gave their able bodies TO
the service of the Union from be
coming paupers, now that they are
no longer able-bodied. If this bill
which the President has just vetoed
lacks precision of definition as to
the qualifications for pension, let 1t
be amended and presented to him
again. 1t will be vetoed again, un-
der whatever guise it may be pre-.
sented, but nothing should be left
undone toward placing him in a
position where he must choose di-
rectly between the 1873 electoral
votes in control of the Southern
brigadiers and justice to the suryiy
ing soldiers Of the Union.
